Station / Estación # 31: Zapata

It is perhaps ironic that I didn’t find the area around a station named after a revolutionary terribly inspiring.

There is a vast conglomeration of shopping malls and chain stores hugging both sides of the main road outside the station.

However, my theory and indeed the rationale for the MCM Project is that I WILL find something or someone worth documenting at EVERY station. Sometimes, it slaps me in the face upon exiting the station. Other times it takes a bit more patience.

So, after wandering and wandering, widening my search, I finally came face to face with an über-friendly deaf-mute street-performer/flower-seller who was also a willing photo subject. Voilà! Protagonist of my visit found!

Along the way I did also get a distant shot of a stack of fairy floss towering above its vendor and saw an advertisment for stage show ‘Nadando con Tiburones‘ (Swimming with Sharks) which is about to open at Teatro de los Insurgentes.
